Hacking Network Printers
(Mostly HP JetDirects, but a little info on the Ricoh Savins)

Here is my little article on how network printers like JetDirects and Ricoh Savins can be hacked. I've attached it as a PDF since it has too many graphics to make posting it with the forum software practical.

The web version can be found at:

I don't have time to read the whole thing now, but a copy will take residence on my thumb drive so I can read it whenever I have some free time. I heard about people hacking printers with JetDirect, and I've always wanted to try it out myself.

I added a new section:
